What are the current requirements and costs for renewing in-country visas in Phuket?
Went to two different Immigration offices in Phuket this week hoping to get some information about renewing in-country. Neither of them had any idea about cost or requirements 🙃.
Edit: *big apology to the semantic sticklers*
I (obviously) meant "extension" not "renewal." Yes words have meanings. They also get jumbled around in my brain and probably shouldn't make you so frustrated.

Summary so far
A user sought information about extending their DTV visa at two immigration offices in Phuket but received no clear information on costs or requirements. The conversation highlights the confusion surrounding the terminology of 'renewal' versus 'extension' and mentions that only the main immigration office in Phuket handles DTV extensions, not the satellite offices. Others in the comments provide suggestions and experiences related to obtaining extensions, indicating that some offices may not be aware of the recent requirements.

Only the main office in Phuket would issue DTV extensions not the satellite offices at Patong or Blue Tree.
Did you go and ask at the main office?

What is the point to have a 5 years visa if you looking to renew every 180 days, when you simple can go outside the country and come back with another 180 days every time?

He meant extension. Semantics I guess.Jeff ********
@Paul ******
Not really semantics.. extensions and renewals are different things entirely.Paul *******
@Jeff *******
People often use these terms interchangeably. As long as the rest of the context indicates which one is desired, it's easy to provide the correct advice.

You “can” get the extension in room 101 of the Phuket town office only. Except they don’t know what’s required as yet.
Stuart *********
Yep and Phuket don’t yet know the requirements needed.

Different offices. There are 2 of them now. One in Krabi and one in Samut Prakan. The latter def has less onerous requirements regarding accommodation documentation. They both needed all the original paperwork including 500k bank statementsActivity
